i dont agree that all BMW models are ultimate driving machines.. yes may all BMW's a bit sportier than Merc' lets say but generally without at least 6 cylinders, BMW is waste of money to run, maintain or insure.. never had a non M model BMW and not willing to buy one either.. if i cant effort in future i rather go with Golf R or something.. well balanced money to run, maintain and insure..

Subaru has a good reputation because they're well-build, generally last a long time, have a cult following in snow states. But except for the WRX/STI are not particularly high performance (along with the BRZ).
BMW's xDrive is not symmetrical.. never been.. its rear biased.. Subaru uses 50/50 bias.. thats why they re telling its symmetrical..
